Absolutely: Glaucoma is a disease that affects the nerve inside of the eye and is treated with eye drops, laser or surgery (or a combination of these). You can usually still wear contact lenses while being treated for glaucoma, and they will not affect the outcome of the disease.

Contacts: Patients with glaucoma can wear contacts. If glaucoma drops are being used, drops are used before the contacts are put on or after contacts are removed.
